MeMa’s was wonderful. Everyone was so sweet— their whole family greeted us, laughed with us, and fed us wonderful food. Chicken, pulled pork, fried catfish, and brisket were all incredible, and the hush puppies were some of the best I’ve ever had. You could tell it was lots of love in the food, and you could feel it in the restaurant too. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
The food was phenomenal and the service was warm and welcoming. My brisket was so tender it literally fell apart as I picked it up. The green beans and hush puppies were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the corn bread was delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Great meal! Staff was very friendly and attentive. We especially loved the ribs, brisket, and fried catfish. Fried okra was the best we ever had and honey butter cornbread was delicious. Very fun decor and atmosphere as well. Definitely recommend.
